Incredible! This truly has the timber of an oncoming trainā€¦
The introduction totally nails the air horn, and you can
hear the ringing in the rails as it approaches.

The synth arps and strings blend nicely together.
Itā€™s almost like I could ā€˜seeā€™ this song before my eyes;
not to mention, couldnā€™t resist a chuckle at the outro :grin:

This is a great piece of music - do you have a cut/copy/paste video of train stop/start passengers getting on/off the train to along with it? Also, the end part mentioned aboveā€¦ :smiley:

Thanks for checking out.A video with a train coming towards the viewer is what I have in mind at full speed and explodes at the end .

fun track! I like the melodic/harmonic shifts throughout. I feel like the drums should maybe hit a little harderā€¦ did you sidechain compress the kick/snare against the main synths? could help them cut through the mix, pump the synths a little, and give the whole arrangement a little more oomph. Iā€™d also throw in a reversed crash cymbal or some other swell/rise to introduce the drumsā€¦ like the sudden rush of an oncoming train :smiley:
definitely looking forward to the video!

Yep I suck at mixing

switch the bass line channel to ā€œMonoā€

or use this on master channel:

If you want to make a mono mix, which I would highly recommend, you just need to put the Renoise Stereo Expander on the master channel and adjust it to mono. No external tools needed. A mix of a song isnā€™t good if itā€™s not sounding good in mono. If you want to get your low ends to mono, but only the low ends in a specific frequency range, not all the lows, you just need to put a monoizer like this one on your master channel and adjust as you wish, and itā€™s for free. Check it out.

Your song is good. If there werenā€™t train samples I would have a different title in mind which fits to the sound, and it woul be called ā€œHyperspeed Tripā€ or something like that. It sounds very space like, really good. After round about a minute a kind of trumpet sound appears, from this point on there are some dysharmonics, but I guess you wanted to have it this way. And of course the end is great, the ā€œAhā€ sound and the sound when the person gets flattened. With extra delay for emphasis. :wink:

Pretty! One suggestion: right before the impact, you could switch into half time to replicate that slow motion feeling people experience before a crash. I think itā€™d work really nicely with those repeating arpeggios if they suddenly slowed way down for a bar or two. Great stuff!

I know most of these plugins and have many others but at this time I am after how to make my tracks complete. Mixing is not really my thing but further down the line I might get at it.Thanks again
